THE BULLPEN

     Let's go, let's go, he can't hit, he can't hit! Your Pittsburgh Pirates continue their sojourn out west as they battle the San Diego Padres tonight. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)The Pirates start LH Francisco Liriano, 2-4, 3.86 ERA. The Padres go with RH James Shields, 6-0, 3.75 ERA. Last time out Frankie pitched the Pirates to victory with 12 strikeouts in 6 innings, giving up just 1 run and walking 2. Tonight he looks to give Big Game James his first loss of the season. Give him L, Frankie! 2)The Pirates exploded for a season-high 11 runs on 15 hits in last night's 11-5 victory. We want more Hit, Run, & Score! 3)With last night's win, the Pirates have now won a season-best 7 straight. #8 would be grrrreat! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
